About the memorial: Stone tablet with drip-mould above. Affixed to the external elevation of the hall which was built in his memory. He was killed in the opening weeks of the war and the hall was opened in October 1915. Originally opened as a public hall and rifle range, the description in the Sheffield Daily Telegraph 13th October 1915 states that the main hall was 55ft long by 30ft wide with an elongation 35ft x 14ft, containing a set of targets at the extreme end so that the hall can be used as a rifle range or for public gatherings. Members of the Swanwick family were Trustees of the Hall but it was managed by a local committee. During the war the hall was primarily used for drill and rifle practice by the Home Guard and ‘kindred’ institutions. See also WMO/249160.
